Validate belongsTo

I am trying to validate Country and State models from there related models
$belongsTo

In the form users select Country and State which is populated from the db.

So each has an id...

Now I want to make sure someone is not messing with the values with Firebug.

So in my Experience controller this is the

debug($this->data); right before the save();

Array
(
[Experience] => Array
(
[company] => Sants Workshop
[position] => Head Elf
[city] => Secret
[state_id] => 31
[country_id] => 3
[respons] => 2222
[start] => 2055
[finished] => 0000
)

)

So I change a State value to ABCD which is not in the DB as an ID....

Array
(
[Experience] => Array
(
[company] => Sants Workshop
[position] => Head Elf
[city] => Secret
[state_id] => ABCD
[country_id] => 3
[respons] => 2222
[start] => 2055
[finished] => 0000
)

)

State Model:

function checkStateValues($data)
{
$valid = false;
if (!empty($this->data)) {
$san = new Sanitize();
$this->data = $san->paranoid($this->data);
$results = array_diff($this->data,
$this->find('list', array('fields' => 'id', 'order' => 'id ASC')));
if (empty($results))
$valid = true;
}
return $valid;
}

Do I need to set both State and Country to their models? I have in the
controller:

$black = array('id', 'user_id');
if ($this->Experience->save($this->data, true,
array_diff(array_keys($this->Experience->schema()), $black))) {

So it should be checking validation before save with 'true' no? Or does it
only validate the Experience Model?

Thanks

Dave
